 The demand Of the people of Dakota for persistent. For sixteen years they have been petitioning Congress for a division of the territory as preliminary to the formation of new State. Seven different legislatures, six political conventions of both parties, and five conventions of all the people without distinction of party have endorsed that re- quest. Once, indeed, constitution was adopted and State officers chosen, in the hope that this evidence of readiness to assume the responsibilities of State would induce Congress to grant the petition. Now anoth- CT movement Is in progress looking to the same end. It has been said at Washington that if nothing was done for Dakota, it was because nobody knew exactly what it's peo pie wanted, whether they desired to come in as one State or two. To meet this excuse the last territorial legislature authorized the people to express by vote at the election in November next their desires in regard to division.
 The reasons for making Dakota 8 State are forcible. Its population is twice as large as that of Rhode Island, and larger than that of Delaware, Florida, Oregon. Nevada, Colorado and other States, while it's acreage is almost double that of the great State of Ohio. Its land is in part heavily timbered and in part exceedingly rich in agricultural resources. In wealth and industrial condition it's growth is rapid. Six great railroads traverse the territory; more than two hundred and fifty banks with total capital of eight million dollars measure the extent of it's business in- terests; well supported system of common schools and fifteen higher Institutions of learning attest the intelligence of its people, and there are nearly three hundred newspa- pers and over thousand postof6ces.
 But while Dakota oughtsto be made a State it is reasonably certain that nothing will be done in that direction by the Demo- cratic house, for the new State would be Re- publican. As this would never do the peo- pie of Dakota will probably have to wait awhile longer.

When William Duncan established his col ony of Christianized Indians at Metakahtla, in British Columbia, he had good deal of trouble with the liquor question, but the In- dians themselves determined to abolish the use of liquors. A keg of whisky was ob- tained and scattered over the grass in the presence of the young people. It destroyed all the herbsge. The Indian president of the village council then told the young folks that just as it burned the grass 1t would burn them if they drank it. This festival now takes place every year. It was inaugurated wholly by the Indians, and there has been very little trouble with the liquor question since.
